Why apply talc in casting molds?
Due to the aggression suffered by the molds during casting due to different factors, one of the most important being the abrasion of the metal at high temperature, the rubber and silicone molds deteriorate until they reach the end of their productive life.
It is therefore advisable to apply CONIEX industrial talcum powder for molds in each casting. A small layer is more than enough and the life of your molds will be considerably extended with this small gesture!
CONIEX industrial talc is a very fine and dry lamellar powder, specially designed for this application, which facilitates air release and mold filling, protecting the mold from metal abrasion.
Be careful…the common talcum powder that can be found in any store or department store is not suitable for this application!
